Here's three pictures of a prototype mount for a Zumo Gps unit on a Road Glide inner fairing. This mounts replaces the old Harley Quest mount. Hoping to get some opinions from you guys, if you think there's a market??...Thanks...Sid

I like your prototype, sure will help those that have drilled into their fairings and want to upgrade without figuring out how to hide holes and or buying a new inner, good job,,

Very nice looking piece Sid.  Only downside I think of isn't a comment on the part at all.  Just that using this would make the GPS mount to the bike all but permanent.  Move the GPS to another vehicle for awhile and the mount here would be funny looking/incomplete without it.

While I don't think I'd do it to the nearly impossible to replace odd-red stock inner on 00 SERG I'd consider on the inner I'm going to get painted to match the outer.  Would paint the mount at the same time.  So if you do these please advise.

Did you decide anything Sid?  Will there ever be a part like this available for those of us that just can't help ourselves?

[Puzzled]

How does it mount?

Is it easily removable?

I like the idea being at "eye" level and very interested in buying on or two, too.  I do have some of the same questions about mounting and was wondering if the mount could be placed on the "left side" of the Road Glide Radio?
A creative design that looks good.

Sid's been on and off the site a few times since the questions have been asked.  No answers though.  Hard to get the warm fuzzies about a potential vendor when even easy questions are left hanging.  I'm out.

Sorry for not getting back quicker, this is a item that would take awhile to manufacture. What we were trying to see is if there was enough instrest to persue it. The prototype was hand made from ABS, there would have to be a mold made so they could be injection molded. We really just wanted to see if there was enough instrest to go to the next step, sorry if I missled anyone...Sid

Sid,

Great looking item.  From what I can see, you didn't mislead anyone.  What I do see, is a few folks that jumped the gun and were hoping to get their hands on one.  I don't know what the break-even point would be on these for mold production and of course the final detailing on the prototype prior to that, but if the numbers aren't too far out there, I think you'd have a winner with this one.  Some folks did raise some good questions that could sure help tuning of the prototype prior to molding process, but the math just might work.  Good luck with it if you choose to venture further.
